To me, that level of removal sounds more like a hypothetical Project Manager
or historical Kaitiaki.  Koha pointedly needs concrete Quality Assurance
whether that comes from RM, QA Mgr, group feedback or some combination.  The
QA Mgr seems like the right place to situate most of that responsibility at
the day-to-day level.

I suppose we'll get a chance to chat about it here in a few minutes
anyway...
